Lovely.  :)

We took a family trip to Sarasota, Florida last weekend to visit my Dad. Fred & I got up early one morning to shoot the beach at sunrise.

I’m very pleased to be paired to exhibit with a widely-praised local painter, Jason Craighead, through Raleigh’s municipal arts program. The exhibition, Macrocosm/Macrocosm, opens this Friday. Reception: Fri, Feb 1, 5-7pm with a poetry reading. One of my images was chosen for the postcard, above. (Click the thumbnail for a bigger image.)

Thanks so much to Sonja Engdahl for her kind words about my art on her blog Nervous Motion! :)

I bought an old argus argoflex seventy-five camera off ebay and have begun to try some “through the viewfinder” photography. This photo was taken with my canon dslr through the viewfinder of the argoflex. It’s a way of imparting some vintage romance (dust, scratches, cheesy optics) to a modern digital photograph. Check out the Ttv flickr group.
